Winner of the Moravia Prize for fiction,
The Jewish Husband is a bittersweet story of passion and hatred, cruelty and oppression. It is an account of a country and a time about which too little has been written, and the terrible consequences of that period's race laws. Above all, however, it is a tender love story set at a time in which the world and its inhabitants appeared to have completely lost their ability to show tenderness. Author and journalist, Lia Levi will be in Washington DC, New York and Westchester (NY) to meet her American readers this week.
